Feature request: _ instead of –

    Would you add a setting for using _ instead of – for spaces?

    – is consistent with WP, but _ is consistent with much of computer history :).

    It would also read better, as _ to the eye looks like a space. Plus that – carries meaning e.g. this_is_a_hot-water_bottle (and that’s that kind of bottle you use to heat yor feet with, not just any bottle of water that happens to be hot).

    I’m sure many would appreciate it, as would I.

    Hmm, after my tirade above, I might even get WP headline URL:s to change; with a plugin of course.

    We don’t have any plans for a setting like that at the moment, but we’ll consider it for a future version.

    Google treats dashes and underscores differently, according to this video by Matt Cutts from 2011. They recommend using dashes in URL’s. If that goes for filenames as well, I don’t know.
